    I've been playing for a week now and only lvl 76 my stats are as follows:
    Str 170
    Agi 8
    CRT 17
    Rest are at 1
    Skills
    Magic: up to impact all 5 cept impact is 7. Have mp charge at 1
    Dagger: have throwing knife at 10 and poison dagger at 1
    Halberd: mastery and crit are maxed, flash 5 deadly 5 strike 5
    Survival: got hp maxed
    Battle: crit is maxed atk and whack are at 5

    Went this route as I saw someone suggest a combo for 1mp like this
    flash stab>poison dagger(save)>throwing knife(Swift)>magic impact(consecutive)>strike stab (smite)

    Using lil empress I bought and got to +e, heavy knife(5 crit), puck(5 crit 1000 hp), holy robes +4, sofys talisman(300 mp)
    With this I'm at 58 total crit I think.

    Still painful to fight bosses solo. Any suggestions and tips welcome. Better combos would be nice. The mercs I have access to are ok but not enough to keep me from death in solo boss fights.

    Finish Main quest first, and after finishing MQ do leveling on either bosses or miniboss or if you're not strong enough lvling on mobs to reach lvl 150 quickly, so you will have access to lvl 4 skills, which would make everything easier. Also what stats does your lil empress halberd have? Are you using npc holy robe or player statted one? If player statted what stats does it have?

    My lily empress and holy robes dont have stats on them they are player created from consignment board but no stats. Cant find anyone who will tell me price to put crit on them just so I dont miss. Doesn't have to be max crit just like 7 or something. Hp and mp would help too. But noone telling me prices so I know how much mino skins to farm. Playing on eng 1

    If you want a cheap armor that gives crit assassin garb from the npc blacksmith is good, it gives +!5, for additional you can pick bear hat, shaved ice hat, sakura draw string bag, sakura fan hair clip etc.there's lots of other adds there that gives crit, also try to find friends who have cooking buff, particularly ones with hp, mp, crit, and atk, as those are really useful. The usual price for ful critical armor +18 is at 3m~ but if you're frequently browsing the cb you might find a cheap arm with old stats like +13 or +15 costing around 1-2m~ if you're lucky. As for skills and combos I heard strike stab is the best dps skill for halberd before level 4 skills, so I guess spamming strike stab would be good enough, not sure what combo is best for it though

    Soloing bosses (with or without Merc is not recommended) mercs are unable to use skills or combos which makes it impossible for them to hold aggro. Your combo is good, when you have more skill points to invest I'd go for this one;

    Flash stab>Warcry(save)>poison dagger(swift)>impact(consecutive)>strike stab(smite)

    Get level 10 strike stab to maximize your DPS.

    P.S. if we can arrange a meeting I'll stat your Lil empress and holy robes for free, it won't be +17/18 but I'll do my best :)

    I would greatly appreciate that. I'm on English 1 same name as here.
    I still need to learn dual sword for godspeed, blade for warcry and shot for decoy. Not sure if I need katana skukuchi.

    You can use this combo:
    (100 mp)flash stab >warcry(save) >poison dagger(cons)>impact(swift) >strike stab (smite) >closer(could be holy fist from priest tree, just make sure you don't get too close to the target). This combo has 130% strike stab damage. You can add quick aura or throwing knife in between poison dagger and impact to make it 150% strike stab. You'll sacrifice some hp though, but, you can use war cry of struggle once you hit half hp. With throwing knife, you will have too much physical proration in one combo you'll have to land some auto attacks to prorate.

    Now, the problem with strike stab, is that it has critical penalty, 50% of your base crit. As you put 17 CRT then your base crit wouldbe 30, that's 15 crit penalty with strike stab. You can boost your crit by using punish ray, but the problem with punish ray, is that it's slow, and incompatible with 1mp combos. As it will be used up with any use of skills, even wcos. Hence manual cast is also not ideal. You can however, put punish ray in place of quick aura so your strike stab would have a boost of 100 crit. The next big problem that arises is the slow cast of punish ray will further increase the duration of your already long, 1mp combo. Prepare for the worst if you solo. So the combo with maximum damage output would be like this:
    Flash stab>warcry(save) >poison dagger(cons) >punish ray(swift)>impact (swift) >strike stab(smite) >holy fist

    It's a 125 crit, 150% strike stab damage combo, with 3 physical skills and 2 magic skills, a relatively stable proration. It excludes crit rate from gears though.

    You may want to have shorter combos in the long run for mobility. Bosses will hit hard and quick.
    Quick 1mp~>poison(save)~>Impact(swift)
    Strike stab~>poison(save)~>Impact(swift)
    Impact~>Strike stab(smite)~>1-2mp(cons)

    Have 255 STR , then distr. To CRIT
    Strike calculation is
    (25+X/3.4)(1-skilllvl/100)+crit from equip and skills
    Id adjust to somewhere 80+crit from stat,additional equip, and xtalls
    Then Agi if your satisfied with crit
    Then have custom equip set to crit dmg,str,atk at cap.

    This is even better when you unlock level 4 skills
    With Chronos Drive,GSW,Finalr and some luck at quick draw.
    Youre able to spam strike stab w/o worrying on MP

    Are those 3 different combos or 1 big one?

    So I have combo like this now
    Flash stab>magic impact save>strike stab smite
    Does decent dmg and I'm up to 88crit if I've done the math right on my gear. Course SS loses a bit so it's like 68 crit.

    My main issue now is I get hit hard and I'm not sure how.to fix this. Have 2.3k hp right now and I've been one shotted by some of the bosses on easy in mq. I'm lvl 109 now and I cant even farm masked warrior on ultimate for cp. Using coryn to determine who to kill and it doesn't seem to matter I get hit too hard.

    Suggestions plz

    Well, 2.3hp is a bit too low, imo. You can get vita plus 3 from Hora diomedea to get an extra 1.5k hp

    I used a Vita 2 for 1k hp and still die so fast to masked warrior ultimate. My merc is worthless and I cant take more than 2 maybe 3 hits. I tried Ifrid on normal too and same issue. I feel like a piece of glass with no dmg to back it up.

    Edit: I've tried several bosses now and cant seem to kill any of them. Finding a group to play with is almost impossible and I cant continue mq as I'm too low lvl for next boss. This is incredibly frustrating. I like the game but hitting a wall like this makes me feel like quitting.

    You should go to cerberus hard mode it's probably easier there. Also for main story quest, you can set the bosses on easy mode, exit the map then set the difficulty to easy. Most mercs can beat easy mode boss even venena

    Bosses and mobs are over 10 higher than me now. Trying to lvl to close that gap. I'll try Cerberus and see how it goes. Guild member suggested I get frog hat but its expensive. Thinking of trying to get chaos knife for the 1k hp. I'll lose 5 crit but the hp is worth it i think. Using shaved ice hat for the 20 crit. Should i farm some spina and get the frog hat for 3k hp or any suggestions on gear? Have holy robes with crit 12 on em and lil empress halberd with same.

    Cerberus killed me. Bkod is on event this weekend and I cant even kill him on hard mode. He killed me in 2 hits. Getting gear with hp seems insanely expensive. Guess I'm gonna have to farm mino skins forever to get 2mil so I can buy crysta or equipment with more hp

    To set up Impact using 1 MP instead of 2 MP.
    then you can use spam the strike Stab for 1mp
    use the smited Stab if you want more damage,
    the only drawback in this one is the tumble caused by impact, you can get Tumble(Unavailable) later.

    having strike stab next to save reduces a lot of damage.

    If HP is the issue, look for HP food too. That is definitely free and it works. Another way is look at NPC armors and take those with +hp such as sakura kimono 2 (its still available to craft if you have the crystals) and mozt armor (2k HP)
